What are differences between nitrile gloves and latex gloves?

Gloves should be familiar to everyone, and it is one of the most used daily products in daily life. Then there are many types of gloves, including nitrile gloves, latex gloves, rubber gloves, etc. However, many people do not know the difference between nitrile gloves and latex gloves, and do not know what is the difference between these two types of gloves. Disposable gloves introduce the difference between nitrile gloves and latex gloves.

(1) Material

Latex gloves are also called rubber gloves. Latex is a natural material and is derived from rubber tree sap. Natural latex is a biosynthetic product. Due to differences in tree species, geology, climate, and other related conditions, its composition and colloidal structure will often appear huge. difference. In fresh latex without any added substances, rubber hydrocarbons only account for 20% -40% of the total, and the rest are a small amount of non-rubber components and water. Non-rubber components include proteins, lipids, sugars, and inorganic components. Some of them form a composite structure with rubber particles, and the other is dissolved in whey or forms non-rubber particles.

Nitrile is a kind of rubber, which is a key raw material for organic synthesis and pharmaceutical intermediates. It is mainly synthesized from acrylonitrile and butadiene. Nitrile (jīng): A class of organic compounds that has a special odor and decomposes when exposed to acid or alkali.

(2) Traits

Latex gloves: Compared with Ding Qing gloves, its toughness and abrasion resistance are slightly inferior, but the elasticity is better. Abrasion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and oil resistance are slightly worse than those of Ding Qing. The acid and alkali resistance are slightly better than those of Ding Qing, but it is not suitable for allergic skin and long-term wear.

Ding Qing gloves: harder material, poor elasticity, better abrasion resistance, acid and alkali resistance (some Ding Qing gloves can not prevent acetone, strong alcohol) and good anti-static properties, and will not cause allergies to the skin , Suitable for people with allergies and long-term wear.
